Scott Parker admits Fulham are in for a tough season following their eighth Premier League defeat of the season, at home against Swansea on Saturday.

Manager Martin Jol is under pressure after guiding Fulham to just one Premier League win at Craven Cottage since the start of the campaign. The club are third from bottom and visit fellow strugglers West Ham on Saturday.

Parker (above) said: “It’s going to be a difficult year for us with the way it has started in terms of points. If you look at the table it doesn’t look pretty — it’s there for all to see. We need to get some points because it’s going to be a tough season for us. We know that.

“The key is results. If you can win a couple of games, the pressure comes off you a little bit.

“There are only so many times you can say you played well and were unlucky.”
